Partition space low for root, help!

More Information

I currently have three drives: C, D, and H
I have my 2 hard drives in a Raid 0 configuration (2 drives seen as one).

I have my H drive as my root with windows xp home. It is 10 GB
C drive is 390 GB
D drive is 195 GB

I know, I know, stop laughing, I got some really bad advice when this computer was built/set-up.

Needless to say, all my applications other then the OS is on the C drive. I noticed that when I install some programs on the other drives, sometimes it places a tag or (small associated file) of the program on the root H drive.

My root H drive is almost full, it has 2GB left. I've searched for files to remove but they all look like they are needed or are system files. My d drive is empty, I only use my C drive for storage.

I want to either expand my root H drive using some or all of my d drive space or
I want to install a second copy of windows xp on the d drive and make the d drive the main root drive. Are either of these options possible. Anyone have a better idea then to start from scratch and rebuild the entire things starting with the partitions.

I don't want to worry about space issues in the future...

NOTE: Partition magic says for Raid 0 drives, they do not recommend using that product.

Any help or advice is appreciated...

Robert

Also note, my swap "pagefile.sys" is set for my c and d drives, not my root h drive.
